Extreme Pizza and Around Dublin are doing a great job. Have really missed them since we moved from Walnut Creek.

Extreme Pizza in Dublin rocks! We've taken them up on every offer, and ordered pizza several times at full price.
Now if only the rest of Tralee weren't looking like a ghost town!

Around Dublin folks: Do you know what's going on with Tralee? I am looking to buy a condo or town home in Dublin, and the sales office at Tralee isn't even staffed anymore. You can't look at the models. WTF?

From what I heard, the developer is in trouble. They may be still negotiating with the lender. If they cannot come up with a resolution, they may need to foreclose the developement. Especially for the condo portion, only the shell was complete, most of the interior is still empty. This will be very unfornate for the nearby development. Once the bank takes it back, they are pretty likely to sell the building in a discount, then further depressing the value of the adjacent properties. I will be one of the victim then.

Wow, I am sad to hear about Tralee, but excited to have Extreme Pizza in Dublin!

Anyone knows what is happening to Sonata at Dublin Ranch by Lennar? The community does not look like finished. Are they in the same boat as Tralee?
10:13 AM on June 9th, 2009
I was just on their website, and the homes built are all sold out. They may be building more and have yet to offer them for sale, or are not building anymore due to economy.

We enjoy their pizza and everyone who works there is nice. Kudos!!

The Team had dinner at Extreme Pizza with a friend last night. We got an extra large Screamin’ Tomatoes on wheat crust with no cheddar. The pizza was gone in 20 minutes.

I bet the scumbag Toll brothers employees that post questionable (original word removed) comments, here took advantage of the free pizza promotion.

Hi Angela – Lennar’s Sonata development is in good shape. Lennar has sold out all of the homes that you see at Sonata. They have about 70 left to build once the new home market picks up again.
Thx, John Z.

Thanks for all the responses!
John, any idea when Lennar is going to build more new homes for Sonata? I thought new home market has already picked up, due to the California tax credit. Now is the seasonal peak time for real estate because of kids going to schools. I really don't understand why they stopped building more, while other builders is continuing doing so and even increasing the prices a bit. Again, thank you.

Hi Angela – I think that some home builders – like Lennar and Toll – are more conservative than others. Lennar has lots of cash on their balance sheet and is more likely to build at a slower pace. In this case, they may be trying to create pent up demand for their product by slowing down the release of each phase. Home builders like Hovnanian Enterprises are near bankruptcy because they used shareholder equity to build a bunch of homes with little to no demand on speculation.
The Around Dublin team has joined Lennar’s mailing list so that we can let readers like yourself know once Sonata has released their next phase.
Thx, John Z.

I'm glad that Extreme Pizza is doing well, but given their prices, it's not a surprise. I have a family of 2 adults and 2 children, and spent $50 on 1 small cheese, 1 medium Hawaiian, and 1 medium combo pizza, and we were still hungry afterwards. Also, the "eat in" area appears to only hold 4 families (or so it seems), so it would be difficult to bring a large group in there without being "split up".
Don't get me wrong, the pizzas were very yummy, but that's too much to pay for pizza and I think the place is too small.
I think a lot of the early success comes from the "free" promotions, but the true test will be when the freebies go away and everyone has to pay for their food.

Sonata will restart only when the builder can sell the homes at a certain price. Currently it has depressed so much it was hard for them to break even or at least meet the minimum revenue per unit that their company requires. As a company, Lennar is in good shape, unlike many others like Pinn Brothers for Tralee.
Values at Sonata will depress even more when and if that proposed banquet hall/community center/religious center gets final approval and word gets out.

Hey, Little Home just opened with free Thai Ice Tea with purchase of a dish through the end of June. I hear Subway and a Dry Cleaner is on. Need a coffee shop and another restaurant though to make it a real retail center. Without the mass of residence above and behind though it will be challenging to the stores already opened. As a resident I do what I can and patronize these businesses (Little Home, Extreme Pizza, Nothing Bundt Cake, Cut Beyond) when I can or have money to spend.

Great, I've been going to Little Home in Pleasanton but will now support the Dublin location as I'm a Dubliner. Me and my wife went there last week for dinner, same wonderful food and with a wide variety of choices.
The service was good and prompt, although the young staff, possibly the owner's kids are quite shy and not as open and friendly as one would expect from a family owned restaurant. We never really felt welcomed or appreciated, it felt kinda cold. Especially during this economic times when families don't spend to eat out as much, any business owners should be appreciative that one has chosen to spend money at there eaterie instead of at a competitor.

I wish Extreme provided more seating. We always go out in large groups of 4-8 people thus the small location would not work for us. We'd hate to hog up what little seatings there are with just our group thus avoid it altogether.
Great Pizzas though, even for the price it is worth it. Great promotion and a great addition to Dublin's eaterie landscape.
